About Westwood

What pet sitting in Westwood actually looks like

Westwood is the UCLA-campus-adjacent Westside neighborhood, with Westwood Village's historic Mediterranean-revival cinemas (Bruin and Village theaters), the Hammer Museum, and the residential streets stretching south toward Pico. UCLA-affiliated apartments and condos mix with family homes.

Westwood sitters are heavily UCLA-affiliated: graduate students, postdocs, faculty, and staff. The breed mix favors family dogs: Goldendoodles, Labradors, Cavaliers, plus a steady rescue contingent. Summer break and winter break create flex availability.
